Inside the incredible London penthouse with a lounge larger than the average British home

Britain is short of housing and prices are soaring. But this isn't a problem for the super-wealthy.

In fact, one of the latest properties to go on the market via Harrods Estates is a two-floor penthouse in one of the most affluent areas in London. Incredibly, it has a living room larger than the size of the average home in Britain.

For £12.95 million, you can buy the Wolfe House duplex apartment that merges two flats into one.

It also has a private study.

But it is the living area that is the huge selling point. The lounge is absolutely massive at 1,200 square feet.

According to Cambridge University research, the average size of a home in Britain is around 1,000 square feet, so the lounge in the penthouse is far larger than the average property in the UK.

"The living area benefits from expanses of glazing, flooding the room with light," said Harrods Estates.

The living area leads to a dining area which is large enough to seat twelve people for dinner. However, it's pretty clear that larger tables to seat more people can be added.

The kitchen is also huge and hosts luxury finishings and state of the art technology. It has lava stone worktops, Asselle cabinetry, and all inbuilt appliances are by Miele, whilst an American-style Sub-Zero fridge and wine cooler dominate one wall.

The bathrooms are super luxurious and also have Aqualux televisions, large "rainfall" showers, and "night sky-inspired Swarovski pin lighting."

Above all the view is amazing and due to where it is located, the owners of the penthouse can access a swimming pool, sauna and steam room, cinema, gymnasium, business suite and 24-hour Harrods Estates Asset Management concierge service in the building.

It is a combination of two flats merged into one enormous property, giving owners over 4,300 square feet in total.
